Title: Theme Update Issues Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Theme Update Issues * Resolved [cheetalope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheetalope/) * (@cheetalope) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/) * When I logged into WordPress this morning there was an update for the Redwaves Lite theme from 1.0.6 to 2.0.0. which I use on [http://choicesmakesuccess.com/](http://choicesmakesuccess.com/) I completed the update but since then my sidebar widgets are not displaying live on my website. I have removed them and re-added them but it did not work. The sidebar and the widgets appear to be active inside WordPress but they will not display live. I use the same them on another website but I did not do the update and I have no problems with the second site. * Any help would be greatly appreciated! * Brenda (Cheetalope) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/page/2/?output_format=md) * Theme Author [Asmi Khalil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asmi1/) * (@asmi1) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6422852) * Hi cheetalope thanks for using my theme RedWaves lite! I really did many testing but sometimes you know small bugs can get slipped out! * here is a post that will answer all your question: [https://forum.themient.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10](https://forum.themient.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=10) * Again sorry about the mess i made! * Kind Regards 🙂 * Thread Starter [cheetalope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheetalope/) * (@cheetalope) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423021) * Hi Asmi, * I wanted to let you know that going into the appearance-customize-design and layout and changing the placement of the sidebar did not work. However changing the code in the sidebar.php did to a certain degree. In order to get my sidebar displaying on all my posts and pages I had to edit every page & post, it is only after editing that all of my content that the sidebar will show up. * As I mentioned earlier I have a second website using the same theme but I have chosen not to to the update. Please advise when this issue has been fixed. If it is not fixed soon I will consider changing themes. * I should also mention that the update also removed all my codes for google adsense and I had to reinstall them also. * Cheetalope * [markcoomes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markcoomes/) * (@markcoomes) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423037) * Suckerfish menu is gone from 2.0.0.

I’m looking. * The logo size is looking perfect on my testing site. I think you have done some CSS editing that caused this issue. * Theme Author [Asmi Khalil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asmi1/) * (@asmi1) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423084) * [@cheetalope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheetalope/) * > In order to get my sidebar displaying on all my posts and pages I had to edit > every page & post, it is only after editing that all of my content that the > sidebar will show up. * What kind of editing have you made to your posts & pages? you cant enable/disable the sidebar on specific posts or pages unless you use a plugin or edit the theme PHP code. If you choose No Sidebar from the Sidebar Setting the sidebar will be hided from all posts & pages. * > As I mentioned earlier I have a second website using the same theme but I > have chosen not to to the update. > Please advise when this issue has been fixed. > If it is not fixed soon I will consider changing themes. * In version 2.0.3 I have fixed the stretched thumbnail bug on mobile devices & the Hidden Sidebar widgets bug. Also I have made some style adjustment. Please report any bug you found so I could fix it. I am doing my best to respond to support queries, fix bugs & develop new themes and this is really taking too much time so sometimes I found myself not making enough testing before releasing new updates. Your support is much appreciated. * > I should also mention that the update also removed all my codes for google > adsense and I had to reinstall them also. * Upon any theme update, all files get updated and so you lose all the changes you have made. Best solution to this problem is to use a plugin instead of injecting the Adsense code directly into the theme files. I was told not to implement a feature that will help the theme user to add Ad code or Analytics code ..etc from the Customizer or Options panel because this is a **Plugin Territory** and in order for my themes to get approved & released at wordpress.org I must obey the [WordPress Theme Development Guidelines](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/guidelines/). And I really like these guidelines! they are making our life easier 🙂 * Hope I helped you!

I did not want to experience the same issue again. * But guess what…I have. There is no sidebar displaying on my website. The fixes you offered the other day when I experienced this with my first site are not working! * Cheetalope * Thread Starter [cheetalope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheetalope/) * (@cheetalope) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423117) * Forget my last comment.

So if you are using a caching plugin please clear the cache. * Thread Starter [cheetalope](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cheetalope/) * (@cheetalope) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423157) * Thank you Asmi, You have solved the issue once again. * Cheetalope * Theme Author [Asmi Khalil](https://wordpress.org/support/users/asmi1/) * (@asmi1) * [10 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-update-issues/#post-6423160) * You’re welcome!
